Getting a sleeping & feeding schedule, suggestions?

Hi Everyone,

Gavin will be 7 weeks on Monday and I am going back to work on June 10, when he is 9 weeks.

I am thinking I need to get him on some sort of schedule or at least work towards one.

I will be working 3 days a week from 10:30 am (need to leave the house at 9:45 am) to 6:30 pm (will be home at 7:15 pm) and I am BF, so I am trying to figure out how many bottles he will need on those 3 days of BM. I want to try and have him have the least amount of bottles as possible, I love nursing him and I am not giving it up!

Right now he sleeps and eats when he wants, honestly there is no pattern.

So, I am thinking I want to nurse him at 9:15 am, right before I leave and at 7:15 pm when I get home. Any suggestions on how to set up a schedule of some sorts?
